Global Commercial Vehicles Market By End User (Logistics, Industrial, Mining & Construction, Passenger Transportation, and Others), By Type (Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs), Heavy Trucks and Buses & Coaches), By Regional Outlook, Industry Analysis Report and Forecast, 2021 - 2027

The Global Commercial Vehicles Market size is expected to reach $1.6 Trillion by 2027, rising at a market growth of 4.5% CAGR during the forecast period.

Commercial vehicles are four-wheeled vehicles used for goods transportation. The weight difference between light vehicles and heavy trucks is expressed in tonnes (metric tonnes). Based on national and professional norms, this limit ranges between 3.5 and 7 tonnes. Buses and coaches are vehicles that have more than 8 seats along with the driver's seat and a maximum mass larger than that of light automobiles (range from 3.5 to 7 tonnes).

Progress in the technology of electric and semi-autonomous commercial vehicles would open new growth avenues for the market. In addition, the use of Electric Cars (EVs) for business transportation is predicted to grow gradually as a result of the various advantages they have over ICE vehicles.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic caused an extraordinary drop in sales of cars in early 2020, impacting the automotive industry. To avoid the spread of the coronavirus, transportation, and manufacturing operations, as well as public transit, have been suspended. Because of the coronavirus's growing influence on the commercial automobile sector, market demand and sales may fall dramatically. People are becoming increasingly anxious about the spread of the coronavirus, and many are wary of taking public transit. It is also anticipated that this may hinder the market growth.

Market Growth Factors:

Rapid Industrialization and adoption of Advanced Technologies and Electrification

The key causes for the considerable increase of good transport vehicles, globally, are fast population growth, rapid urbanization, the development of the industrial sector, and infrastructure development. The growth of the industrial sector, particularly in developing nations, is creating a great number of opportunities pertaining to jobs in a variety of industries, including mining, construction, and tourism. As a result, an increase in work possibilities leads to an increase of commuters, which has a significant influence on the requirement of public transportation solutions.

Thriving automotive industry

Due to technical improvements and the introduction of automobiles with efficient fuel consumption technologies, the automotive sector has experienced tremendous development in recent years. Several businesses, like Ashok Leyland and Tata Motors, have been designing and introducing innovative commercial vehicles to various regions throughout the world. For example, Ashok Leyland intended to launch a new line of light commercial vehicles (LCVs) in September 2020, with the goal of reducing the company's exposure to future downturns.

Market Restraining Factors:

Low Battery capacity in Electric Commercial Vehicles

The batteries in today's electric vehicles have low capacity and can only travel a short distance per charge. The performance and service life of batteries have a direct impact on electric vehicle performance and cost. Electric vehicles are now powered by lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal hydride, and lithium-ion batteries. Because lithium-ion batteries have a longer life span than lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, and nickel-metal hydride batteries, they are gradually replacing them in electric vehicles. Lithium-ion batteries, on the other hand, have insufficient capacity to power commercial vehicles. Batteries' charging-discharging performance deteriorates dramatically in cold temperatures, making it difficult for them to produce maximum power.

End User Outlook

Based on End User, the market is segmented into Logistics, Industrial, Mining & Construction, Passenger Transportation, and Others. The passenger transportation segment held a significant revenue share of the overall Commercial Vehicles market in 2020. The increased use of public transit is expected to fuel demand for commercial cars.

Type Outlook

Based on Type, the market is segmented into Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs), Heavy Trucks and Buses & Coaches. The buses and coaches segment procured promising revenue share of the overall commercial vehicles in 2020. The segment's expansion can be attributable to the rising usage of buses and coaches in the healthcare industry and tourism sectors.

Regional Outlook

Based on Regions, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America, Middle East & Africa. In 2020, the Asia Pacific regional market collected a significant revenue share of the commercial vehicles market. This is due to the rising demand for warehousing, transportation, and unified logistics.
